Anthology of short stories revealing the untold tales of the Underworld War. The Heresy came to Calth without warning. In just a few hours of betrayal and bloodshed, the proud warriors of the XIIIth Legion - Guilliman's own Ultramarines - were laid low by the treachery of their erstwhile brothers of the XVIIth. Now, as the planet is scoured by solar flares from the wounded Veridian star, the survivors must take the fight to the remaining Word Bearers and their foul allies, or face damnation in the gloomy arcology shelters beneath the planet's surface. A collection of stories by authors including Dan Abnett, Aaron Demsbki-Bowden and Rob Sanders. The battle for Calth is far from over...… (más)
Interesting collection of short stories linked to the attack on Calth. Some of them will make you go 'huh', some of them are pretty dark and gritty (especially those related to Word Bearers), some remind me of Edward Wagner's Kane series where great people walk and ....
Highly recommended but keep in mind that if you do not know what disaster of Calth means for W40K history-line you may end up slightly puzzled.... ( )
A collection of eight stories, most dealing with the fight beneath the surface of Calth between the Ultramarines and the Word Bearers. The first five or six shorts are not that great maybe two starts, but the last two are really good. "Athame" takes you along the creation of a blade and its travels through time from ancient Terra to the present future. "Unmarked" picks up the story of Oll Persson and his small band that fled Calth in "Know No Fear". ( )

It is the doom of empires that they forget, and those that consign their victories and failures alike to oblivion are destined to repeat them forevermore. An empire should honour its history.
With the treachery of our brothers revealed and the Mark of Calth measured in the beating of loyal, legionary hearts, we gather and collate. Witnesses to the end of a world give us their accounts. Enemies are interrogated. Communiqués, datastreams, status reports – we will read them all. We will scrutinise. We will analyse. We will reach judgement, both on others and upon ourselves. We will conclude the whole truth of those dark times, even if it takes us a thousand years.
The XIII Legion has not forgotten – nor will it ever forget – what happened at noble Calth. We fight with the weight of Ultramar's history upon our shoulders. It is our burden. It is our honour.
– Roboute Guilliman, In Plenitudes Temporis (In the Fullness of Time), from the General Introduction, ref:71.1
